Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis is a totally natural state of mind.

When under hypnosis you will feel very relaxed, just like that wonderful feeling when you are tired and lying in your bed and you are so overcome with comfort that you wish the moment could last forever.

Through simple hypnotic, relaxation techniques you can easily attain this state, at which time it becomes easy, with the help of a trained hypnotherapist, to visualise and replace negative beliefs held in your sub conscious to focus yourself into becoming ..

Hypnotherapy is often misunderstood because many connect it to the entertainment they may have seen in stage hypnosis, and think "oh I don't want to be controlled like that". Hypnotherapy is the use of a direct interaction with a client's unconscious mind, not controlling it. The mind can be divided into three systems: the conscious mind, the subconscious mind, and the unconscious mind.

The conscious mind is your awareness at the present moment. You are aware of something on the outside as well as some specific mental functions happening on the inside. For example, you are aware of your environment, your breathing, or the chair that you are sitting on.

The subconscious mind consists of accessible information. The subconscious mind controls the underlying behaviours that have been generalised, for example after learning to drive a car, those learned abilities are transferred from the conscious to the subconscious where they become automatic. You can become aware of this information once you direct your attention to it. Think of this as memory recall. You walk down the street to your house without consciously needing to be alert to your surroundings. You can talk on the cell phone while walking and still arrive home safely. You can easily bring to consciousness the subconscious information about the path to your home. You can also easily remember phone numbers that you frequently use etc.

The unconscious mind, holds of the primitive, instinctual wishes, as well as the information that we cannot access, for example the way our bodies keep us alive. The unconscious mind holds the belief system built up from day one in a person’s life, learned actions, reactions and beliefs of parents, caregivers, teachers, and others, Although our behaviours might indicate the unconscious forces that drive them, we don’t have easy access to the information stored in the unconscious mind.

During our childhood, we acquired countless memories and experiences that formed who we are today. However, we cannot recall most of those memories. They are unconscious forces (beliefs, patterns, subjective maps of reality) that drive our behaviours. Most of a person's behaviours are activated from the unconscious level and the reasons and purposes for the behaviour is forgotten, and in many cases out-of-date. Hypnotherapy provides a direct mechanism for updating the motivations and changes the behaviours.

It is possible that some of what might be perceived to be unconscious becomes subconscious, and then conscious (e.g. a long-forgotten childhood memory suddenly emerges after decades). We can assume that some unconscious memories need a strong, specific trigger to bring them to consciousness; whereas, a subconscious memory can be brought to consciousness more easily.

Hypnosis is a motivational tool. Most failings in life are due to a person not doing what they know they should, whether they are avoiding responsibility or they seemingly have no other choices. Hypnotherapy is a direct way of reprogramming that aspect of the unconscious mind.Hypnosis is a totally natural state of mind.

Whatever it is that you want to be!

Hypnosis is like water...

A curious young fish asked a wise frog, "What is water?" He had heard about this mysterious element, but only half believed in it. The wise frog replied, "It is all around you, but you must learn before you will be able to see and feel it."Hypnosis, like water for the fish, is all around us. It's the glue of relationships, the active ingredient in communication, the hidden machinery within our own minds. Those who know what it is and how it works can perceive a whole new layer in human relationships occurring within all kinds of social, professional, and emotional contexts. If we don't learn to 'see' the water and understand how it affects us and those around us then we are at the mercy of the ebb and flow of the tide and the occasional tsunami and all its devastating consequences.
